#113 Grado The Hemp Headphone Discontinued eBay
Pros: Crinacle’s measurement gives it an excellent Harman preference score of 81 with a 2.51 dB spread. Its tonal tilt of +0.09 sits close to the target, so the overall balance is neither dark nor bright.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Its 2.51 dB spread is less even than the best measured sets.
